Check out a bot

Check out TaskBot files or folders from the public workspace to create an editable copy of the bot.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the Bot Creator license to check out a bot to your private workspace.
You must have check-out permission at the folder level.
To check out a bot with dependent folders and files, you must have the check-out permission on the dependency folders.
To cancel or undo a check-out performed by the Bot Creator user, you must have the Cancel checkout and View content permissions on public workspace.
You do not require the Cancel checkout permission to cancel the checked-out bot from the private workspace.

While checking out bot, keep the following considerations in mind:

If you want to check out multiple bots as a unit that are not dependent on each other, create a main bot and then add the other bots as dependencies to this main bot. Check out the main bot.
Only one user can check out a file at a time. When a user checks out a file, it cannot be checked out by any other user.
When you check out a TaskBot or file, all its dependencies are also checked out.
If you are checking out a parent bot in the public workspace whose dependencies are checked out by another user, the dependencies of the parent bot will be cloned in your private workspace.
If a bot is checked out, it cannot be deleted. The bot should be in a checked-in state to be deleted.
When you edit a checked-out bot, the status changes to Checked out edited.
You can use the Revert edits option to revert changes you made to the checked-out bot.

Log in to the Enterprise Control Room as a Bot Creator user.
In the public workspace, click Bots > My bots.
The My bots page is displayed with the list of folders or files containing the bots.
Select the bot, open the actions menu (vertical ellipsis), and click Check out Task Bot.
The bot will appear in the same folder structure in the private workspace. When you check out TaskBot files or folders, all the dependencies linked to the TaskBot files or folders will be checked out.
Note: Only one user can check out a TaskBot at a time. When a user checks out a TaskBot, it cannot be checked out by any other user.
To cancel the checked-out bot, click the Cancel check out Task Bot option.
You can use this option from either the public or the private workspace.

In the public workspace, the bot status changes to public and the bot is available for check-out by another user with the appropriate permissions.
In the private workspace, the bot status changes to new if any changes were made to the bot. If there are no changes, the bot is replaced with a clone.
